Unlike traditional processing methods, co-fermentation intentionally introduces additional ingredients during fermentation. Whether you're already a fan of fruit-forward coffees or you're trying co-fermentation for the first time, these unique coffees are a delicious reminder that every step of the coffee journey plays a role in what's ultimately in your cup.

Being loved by our dad leaves evidence behind. This year, in honor of Father’s Day, we asked our staff to reflect on those little inheritances from Dad and share why they are special. 

At what point did coffee shops and laptops become sworn enemies? We’ve collectively agreed that cafés are places to read books for three hours, journal about our feelings, and have four-hour first dates that go nowhere.

As summer gets underway, we’re excited to share a fresh lineup of events designed to help you soak it all in. From community celebrations and local pop-ups to new drink menus, plenty is happening this month. We can’t wait to spend another summer with you! ☀️

Mom shapes us in ways that are both visible and invisible, leaving traces of herself in our lives. There is evidence of her in our gestures, traditions, and the way we love the people around us. This year, in honor of Mother’s Day, we asked our staff to reflect on those little inheritances from Mom and share why they are special. 

As the weather turns, we’re excited to offer an exciting lineup of events this month to ring in spring, help you defrost, and treat yourself after braving yet another Chicago winter.

Our newest release from Santa Barbara, Antioquia, Colombia, Andres Cardona, is the kind of coffee that instantly captures your attention and keeps you coming back for more. From its vibrant, red-fruit-forward profile to the thoughtful craftsmanship behind every step of its processing, this lot feels special from the very first sip.

Last Thursday, Highwood hosted our first-ever craft night! Designed for a good time, the doors opened at 6:30, and fellow crafters were welcome to join us to start, continue, or even finish their crafts from home in the presence of fellow creatives. 

“Every neighborhood needs a cafe,” Josh shares right off the bat. As the manager of Calibre Coffee, Josh along with the rest of the team, have made it a point to build something larger than just a location to grab a coffee to go. They saw the opportunity to create a place of connection for the surrounding community and have established themselves and continued to build on that very idea.
